League of Competitive Era

Chapter 222
After the list of the top eight comes out, the next step is to draw lots.

Sometimes the game is not only based on strength, but luck also plays a big role. For example, in the current draw, no club wants to draw T1 or RT.

The knockout round is no better than the group stage. After losing a round, you can fight back.

If you lose this, you really lose. You can only pack your things and go home, and wait for next year to come again.

Among all the teams, SAG is probably the most nervous. His opponent is either the LCK T1 team or the LCK KG team.

Although both are difficult to deal with, KG is obviously easier to deal with.

I don't know when it started, the confident SAG people have already developed fear in their hearts.

Not to mention winning the championship, they just want to achieve a better result now, so that at least they won't be scolded too badly after going back.

I don’t know if it was to increase the suspense of the draw, but the organizers decided to perform various performances before starting the draw.

In this way, the audience is comfortable, but the players in the club are uncomfortable.

This feeling is like making a phone call to check your college entrance examination results, but they ask you to listen to a piece of music before answering the phone.

"Why haven't you started yet?"

Rainy night looked at the little sister who was bouncing and performing on the stage, and wished to kick her down one by one.

On the contrary, Chen Mo seemed very calm. In his opinion, the other teams were second, with the same strength, and it didn't matter which one they played.

"Don't you usually like to watch Miss Sister the most, and now you don't like it?"

Rainy night chuckled, in front of the game, the young lady is nothing.

Finally, under the expectant eyes of everyone, the host stepped onto the stage again.

"The teams that have entered the top eight are invited to send representatives to the stage to draw lots."

Accompanied by the voice of the host, Chen Mo and other representatives stepped onto the stage.

Naturally, the first team in the group will be drawn, and the second-placed team can only be drawn.

"First of all, please invite the T1 team."

The host pointed out, and the lights gathered on the far right of the stage.

Faker, who looked a little immature, waved to the audience and walked towards the center of the stage with a smile.

His hand reached into the transparent lottery box, which contained four sealed balls containing the names of the four second teams in the group.

Whoever is drawn by T1 will be their opponent in the quarterfinals.

"T1's opponent is..."

Faker slowly opened the ball, and the eyes of the others were fixed on the ball in his hand.

Especially mklove, the representative of SAG, Chen Mo could clearly see that his lips were trembling slightly.

It seems to be muttering, "Don't be us, don't be us..."

"Cloud!"

The host saw the note in Faker's hand clearly and shouted out.

It can be seen that mklove exhaled heavily and clenched the fist in his hand slightly.

And beside him, Cloud's representative Jensen's face suddenly became ugly.

Fighting against the T1 team, they don't know what to do.

Not only mklove, but also the audience who watched the draw ceremony in China breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a good thing it's not a T1 team, otherwise SAG might really stop at the quarterfinals."

"I have to say that God is still relatively favoring SAG."

However, someone calculated carefully and found that the situation of SAG is still not optimistic.

According to the choice of evasion in the same competition area, SAG's opponents have already locked KG, but SAG and KG played against each other twice, and the results ended in failure.

If you can't win twice, why can you win the third time?
Besides, even if SAG wins, they are in the same half as RT, and if they want to advance to the finals, a civil war is inevitable.

"I hope SAG can defeat KG. A civil war is better than being eliminated in the quarterfinals."

Many people can only silently bless in their hearts.

The lottery ceremony continues...

"Next, please invite the representative of RT to come forward and draw lots."

Chen Mo walked to the center of the stage, randomly took out a small ball, and opened it neatly.

RT's opponent is Europe's No. [-] seed FN.

RT fans feel a bit pained. Among the remaining opponents, FN is the most difficult one to mess with.

Chen Mo didn't feel too uncomfortable, he thought of other things in his mind.

In the group stage, they met the No. [-] seed in North America, and the No. [-] seed in Europe was drawn in the quarterfinals.If SAG beats KG, they will face the No. [-] seed of LPL, and they will very likely compete with the No. [-] seed of LCK in the end.

Looking at it this way, RT's luck can be said to have been carried to grandma's house.

"However... based on previous experience, it seems that the No. [-] seed has a curse on it."

Chen Mo thought to himself.

The World Championship has always had such a curse. The No. [-] seeds in each division will be eliminated quickly, and the teams that can really win the championship are the teams that are not optimistic.

I just don't know if RT can continue this curse.

Holding the lottery he drew, Chen Mo walked up to the representative of FN and stretched out his hand.

The representative of FN is their AD. Seeing that his opponent is RT, he looks a little happy.

In his opinion, as long as it is not a T1 team, the quarterfinals are the same as anyone.

FN really can't beat T1, and they can't even beat the second seed of LPL.

"You are very good!"

Rekk, who was in a good mood, shook hands with Chen Mo and praised him.

The sudden compliment surprised Chen Mo. If he wasn't proficient in English, he would think he heard it wrong.

Dazed for a moment, Chen Mo smiled at him.

"Thank you! You are also very good."

Chen Mo's attitude made Rekk very happy. He made up his mind to try not to make his opponent too ugly in the match against RT.

After RT's lottery ended, CLG's opponent also lost suspense in the end, and their opponent was still SM.

Finally, the host announced the list of the quarterfinals.

"On the first day, CLG played against SM, on the second day, T1 played against Cloud, on the third day, RT played against FN, and on the last day, SAG played against KG."

The venue of the game was also changed from Washington to New York.

……

After the lottery was over, everyone in RT returned to the hotel.

Their game is three days away, during which time they can at least relax.

However, just as Chen Mo and the others were going to have a big meal, Manager He suddenly brought a message—the boss, Ren Tao, came to the United States.

I don't know if RT's recent performance made him very satisfied. The big boss Ren Tao put down the work he had accepted and came to the United States to cheer for the players in person.

For a boss, this is already very rare.

With his worth, time is very precious. If there are not tens of millions a day, there are still millions.

Calculated in this way, Chen Mo's one-year salary will be gone after cheering for RT until the end of the S game.

Of course, this is just talk, even if Ren Tao is not around, Ren's group can still make money.

"The big boss is here, shall we go to greet him?"

Rainy night instantly turned into a dog licking.

"That's for sure, at least let the boss feel our enthusiasm."

Others chimed in.

Chen Mo shrugged his shoulders speechlessly, it seemed that there was nothing to do to relax.
